Photo Contest #4: 2020-21
Celebrating 24 Seasons of Eagle Watching!

Alex Maldonado: Reach – 2019-20 Grand Prize Winner

This year, the Skagit River Bald Eagle Interpretive Center is continuing its popular photo contest. Many of our visitors bring their cameras, and we are excited to provide an opportunity for both expert and novice photographers to share amazing moments while eagle watching or enjoying outdoor adventures.

For over 20 years, we have been inspired by the Upper Skagit River ecosystem and the bald eagles and salmon that return each season, and have worked to raise awareness of how to conserve this special place for generations to come. What is it about this place and the creatures that live here that inspires you? We are searching for nature photographs on/around the Skagit River or the greater North Cascades that captures that feeling!
